Bootstrap menu styling - css

I cant for the life of me figure out how to style the bootstrap dropdown menus using CSS.
I can manage to get the background color to change but that's it. The links don't have an underline and the Hover background colour does not change. I haven't even started with the down arrows yet either!! Any advice?
Heres the code im trying:
#NAV .dropdown-menu { background-color:#273961; border-bottom: 5px solid #CCC;}
#NAV .dropdown-menu>li>a:link { background-color:#273961;}
#NAV .dropdown-menu>li>a:hover{ text-decoration: underline;}

Hopefully this helps.
ul.dropdown-menu {
border-bottom: 5px solid #CCC;
}
.dropdown-menu li:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
I was a little confused what you wanted to do with the background-color of the list items in your dropdown menu. Here's an example of one way to change the background color when hovering over each link. Using !important after a CSS attribute might help in some circumstances when you want to override any subsequent rules (but it might not be the BEST way to do this).
I recommend opening up your Chrome dev tools and playing around a bit until you get the desired results. I'm assuming you want to change the background-color of your list items when hovering to a different color than what you specified (#273961) since it is already that color to begin with?
.dropdown-menu li a:hover {
background-color: red !important;
}

CSS: Can't get Active link to have extra styles

I'm trying to get the active page link on this Shopify store to have a top white border. Tried all sorts of things and nothing is working. I would just think I need
#main-header .dropdown.menu > li > a:active {
border-top: 2px solid #FFF;
transition: none;
}
Tried a:focus too but no luck.
try
#primary-menu> li.menu__active a {
border-top: 2px solid #FFF;
transition: none;
}
a:active is the state of the link after being clicked until the new page is loaded, which is usually a very short time, often even invisible. If you click and hold on a link in your page, you see the applied border-top appearing
If however by "active link" you mean the link of the page which you are currently on, that's not a:active, but the .menu__active class which is added via JS by the website to the li parent of the menu link (not automatically - there has to be a script that does that, which a lot of frameworks and themes/templates have included).
So in this case, just use .menu__active class as the selector for the CSS rule of the li element of that link. But you probably might have to make the selector more specific to overrule other rules, like #main-header .dropdown.menu > li.menu__active > a.

CSS :hover affecting all list items

I was trying to build a menu for a website, and I used this code:
nav#menu:hover li{
background-color: #606060;
}
However, when I hover over the list items on the site, the code changes the background color of every single one of them, not just the one I have my cursor on, does anybody know what I should do?
This should fix it
nav#menu li:hover { background-color: #606060; }
You had hover on entire menu and not its individual li tags.

Wordpress Scrawl theme - can't get rid of hover line

I've seen the other question about this here but their solution did no work for me. When the mouse hovers over a hyperlink, a pesky red line appears underneath it. I've tried:
a:hover{
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: none;
}
a {outline : none;}
.entry-content a {
border-bottom: none;
}
on Appearances->Customize->Additional CSS
on Appearances->Editor->style.css
also on the Slider Revolution Custom CSS because initially I thought this was an issue with the text in the slider, but later realized it's from the whole theme.
also on style.css:
every instance of border-bottom was commented out and replaced by border-bottom:none;
every instance of a:hover that had border-anything had that border commented out
every instance of box-shadow was commented out and replaced by box-shadow: none;
The red line keeps showing up when I hover. I don't know what else to do. I also asked someone to clear their cache and cookies and then refresh the website. The underline/border/box is still there. Is there anything else that could be causing this?
Based on the Scrawl theme preview, looks like it's an ::after so you can override it with this:
.comment-content a:after, .entry-content a:after, .comment-respond a:after, .site-footer a:after {
display:none;
}
Do keep in mind that for accessibility reasons you should probably keep an underline of some sort, but this :after seems rather odd, not sure why they didn't just go with text-decoration:underline instead.

How to change background colour of left menu in Inspinia

The Inspinia AngularJS framework has a demo here for those who don't use it.
For the life of me, I cannot see how to change the background colour of the navigation menu on the left. It should be simple, but I just can't find it, even using the Chrome developer console.
[Update] I want to change the color programmatically from AngularJS, what's the best way to do that? Maybe add an Id to the background div?
Make some changes, according to the images below:
I hope to have helped in some way
i guess this will help u
body{
background-color: #F44336;
}
.nav-header{
background-color: #F44336;
background-image: none;
}
.nav > li.active{
background: #c7635b;
}
.navbar-default .nav > li > a:hover, .navbar-default .nav > li > a:focus{
background-color: red;
}
.nav-header and other elements in your sidebar use background-image and those images are opaque, not showing the background color. You need to check (and reset) background-image property of items in your sidebar for this.
Example:
.nav-header {
background-image: unset;
}
#side-menu {
background-color: #933;
}
.nav > li.active {
background-color: #833;
}
Keep inspecting your elements until you find what rule sets the backgorund-image, background-color or background (shorthand) for the element, copy the selector of the currently applying rule and place it in your own stylesheet, changing the value of the property. Make sure you load it after the rest of your stylesheets.
There is no background-color defined in sidebar, its the background-color of body, and the middle content section has light grey bg color, so change the body-color and sidebar color will be changed.

CSS hover and background color

smarter people than me!
I've been racking my brain for awhile with some css for this wordpress website On the navigation menu (Campus, National, World,...) I'm trying to do some custom css where when you hover your mouse over the menu items and they change color. Right now they only turn black except for the Campus menu item which changes to what I want for a moment then changes to black.
My attempt was to try this short css in the stylesheet, but it didn't work. I suspect I might have to adjust the upper-nested classes.
.menu-item-28 a:hover{
background:#1f61c4;
}
This is probably an easy question but my css-fu is pretty bad. Any help help is much appreciated!
Try changing your selector to
#menu-main-navigation li a:hover{
background-color:#1f61c4;
}
This will target any anchor (a) inside your main navigation (instead of only the one found under .menu-item-28 - ie. campus)
There is this CSS rule in the code
#nav nav > ul > li > a:hover {
background: #222222;
border-color: #222222;
color: #fff;
}
which causes the black background on hover. You probably can't change that, I suppose. But if you put another rule somewhere "later" (= below it) in the code, you can overwrite it with your own background color:
#nav nav > ul > li > a:hover {
background: #1f61c4;
}
